Hollywood actors Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal were forced to flee a fire that destroyed a lodge in Northern California where the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall dined last year.

Brokeback Mountain star Jake, 26, and his 29-year-old sister were among around a dozen guests who fled Manka’s Inverness Lodge after the fire, caused by a falling tree, broke out in the early hours of Wednesday. The famous siblings were staying there over Christmas.

Co-owner Daniel DeLong said the A-list pair were supportive despite the wind and cold.

“Jake was helping me pull things out of the fire,” DeLong said.

The lodge and its restaurant were a popular destination for VIPs.

Charles and Camilla dined at Manka’s last year and DeLong said Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand and her husband, director Joel Cohen, were there on Christmas Day along with Jake and Mona Lisa Smile star Maggie.
